Demo Comprehension

Yesterday, we had our demo comprehension lesson where the children have a guided session on how to answer questions. We looked at which key words would help us answer. After modelling a couple of questions, the children had an opportunity to answer 2 similar questions with their shoulder partner.

Handa’s Bananas 🍌

Our experience lesson today was totally bananas!
We are exploring the book Handa’s Surprise and in the story fruit is taken out of her basket as she walks to her friends house. A cheeky monkey swings down from a tree and steals a yellow banana without Handa knowing. Once we had made out bananas we walked around school balancing them on our heads. We were on the lookout for monkeys but luckily we didn’t spot any this time!

Book Talk 📚

Today, we had a full read of our text – How Silly! – and used Fastest Finger First and Have a Think to answer some quick fire questions about the book. We really enjoyed this book and found it very funny, especially when the farmer was trying to push a cow onto his roof! 🐮
